Docker Compose Flags - docker

Question

I don't how to run the docker-compose equivalent of my code
docker run -d --name=server --restart=always --net network --ip 172.18.0.5 -p 5003:80 -v $APP_PHOTO_DIR:/app/mysql-data -v $APP_CONFIG_DIR:/app/config webserver
I've done this:
version: '3'
services:
server:
image: app-dependencies
ports:
- "5003:80"
volumes:
- ./app:/app
command: python /app/app.py
restart: always
networks:
app_net:
ipv4_address: 172.18.0.5

Answer 1

Are you sure you need an IP address for container? It is not recommended practice, why do you want to set it explicitly?
docker-compose.yml
version: '3'
services:
server: # correct, this would be container's name
image: webserver # this should be image name from your command line
ports:
- "5003:80" # correct, but only if you need to communicate to service from ouside
volumes: # volumes just repeat you command line, you can use Env vars
- $APP_PHOTO_DIR:/app/mysql-data
- $APP_CONFIG_DIR:/app/config
command: ["python", "/app/app.py"] # JSON notation strongly recommended
restart: always
Then docker-compose up -d and that's it. You can access your service from host with localhost:5003, no need for internal IP.

Answer 2

For networks, I always include in the docker-compose file, the network specification. If the network already exists, docker will not create a new one.
version: '3'
services:
server:
image: app-dependencies
ports:
- "5003:80"
volumes:
- ./app:/app
command: python /app/app.py
restart: always
networks:
app_net:
ipv4_address: 172.18.0.5
networks:
app_net:
name: NETWORK_NAME
driver: bridge
ipam:
config:
- subnet: NETWORK_SUBNET
volumes:
VOLUME_NAME:
driver:local
And you will need to add the volumes separately to match the docker run command.
